Privacy Policy

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is SM Tech Swiss GmbH. This privacy policy explains how we handle personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nDSG/FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Data We Collect

When you visit health-insurance-switzerland.ch, certain data is collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure:

• IP address (anonymised where possible)
• Date and time of access
• Pages visited and resources requested
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL (the page you visited before ours)

This data is collected for technical purposes — to ensure the functionality of the website, detect errors, and prevent misuse. It is not used to identify individual users.

3. Cookies

This website may use technically necessary cookies to ensure proper functionality. These cookies do not track your behaviour and are deleted when you close your browser.

If we use analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent before placing such cookies. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings at any time.

4. Third-Party Services

This website is hosted on Netlify (Netlify, Inc., USA). Netlify may process server log data as described in their privacy policy. We have selected Netlify as a reliable hosting provider that implements appropriate security measures.

We use Google Fonts to display typography on this website. When you load a page, your browser connects to Google servers to retrieve font files. Google may process your IP address in this context. For details, see the Google Privacy Policy.

Outbound links to comparison platforms (e.g., krankenkasse-finden.ch) are governed by those platforms' own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their data practices before submitting any personal information.

5. Data Transfer Abroad

Some of the third-party services we use (such as Netlify and Google) are based in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside Switzerland or the EEA, we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms recognised under Swiss data protection law.

6. Data Retention

Server log data is retained for a maximum of 30 days and then automatically deleted. We do not maintain any user accounts, profiles, or databases containing personal information on this website.

7. Your Rights

Under the Swiss nDSG/FADP and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have the following rights:

• Right of access: You may request information about whether and what personal data we process about you.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to deletion: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.
• Right to data portability: You may request your data in a structured, commonly used format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact SM Tech Swiss GmbH.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. This website is served exclusively over HTTPS (encrypted connection). However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
